My daughter is having a hard time controlling pain. Currently on morphine but wants to get off it due to stomach issues. Phentenol patch made her nauseated.
Anybody have any good suggestions that we can discuss with pain doc tomorrow?

Percocet??

Tried Percocet, didn't help. Neurontin gave her bad shakes.
She has problems swallowing pills, anybody have any thought about methadone? I know that comes in dissolvable wafers.

That may work. I know someone who took it for IC.

I saw a documentary on methadone. While studies show it works well on a lot of pain, it has a super-long half life.
It builds up in the system, and the same dose over time can cause overdose without careful monitoring.
That's all I remember about the show.

[section] Carbohydrates Consumed by Lyme Spirochete
An effort to determine which carbohydrates Bb consumes revealed that the organism utilizes the monosaccharides glucose, mannose and N-acetylglucosamine, as well as the disaccharides maltose and chitobiose.
A popular treatment for arthritis includes the administration of chondroitin sulfate and N-acetylglucosamine.
If the arthritis is Lyme-induced, N-acetylglucosamine is contraindicated. 22 (See Chart 14.)
